Château Léoville Las Cases Saint-Julien 2004
Coming as they did prior to the global price hikes of the 2005 and 2006 vintages, the 2004 vintages from Bordeaux has given rise to some of the best values in recent vintages. Wine Enthusiast This “super second” lives up to its billing. It is rich and concentrated with dark tannins that lie over the ripe, jammy fruit and black, rich chocolate flavors. Acidity and wood are there, but only just hints after the richness of the fruit. A real, magnificent aging wine. Score: 95. —Roger Voss, June 01, 2007. Wine Advocate Performing better from bottle than it did from cask, this blend of 76% Cabernet Sauvignon, 13% Merlot, and 11% Cabernet Franc has put on weight over the last year. It exhibits the classic style of both Las Cases and St.-Julien in its deep black currant notes interwoven with sweet cherries, wet stones, and toasty vanillin. Made in a structured, medium to full-bodied style with superb concentration, beautiful purity, and admirable symmetry, this beauty is one of the strongest efforts of the vintage. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2028. Score: 93. —Robert Parker, June 2007. All sizes are 750mL unless otherwise noted. |
